Reviews of Ultra Hostel

Everything was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. location is the best cleanliness staff are wonderful I strongly recommend it to anyone want to visit dushanbe.

NOTHING

Great location, late check-in possible

Clean and cozy room, good location, walkable distance to main attractions, many food options around, owners are friendly and helpful, they assisted with registration.

The bathroom could be little bit cleaner, wifi unstable and weak

Very nice and helpful staff. Great location in the heart of the city with nice views and a pleasant rooftop terrace to be outside in warm evenings. Room, kitchen, bathroom all new.

Kitchen could be a bit cleaner. Sometimes the bathroom was blocked by other guests for quite a long time. Rooftop terrace could be arranged nicer and more comfortable.

Location, building, washrooms

Bunk beds

I think it’s the only hostel in the city where it’s located in center of Dushanbe. It’s very convenient reach to tourist attractions, public parks, supermarket, and a shopping mall. The hostel is on the 17th floor of an apartment building so the view from there is quite good. The hostel is quite spacious with many seating areas both indoor and outdoor. The lady who clean the room is very lovely so does another lady staff (I believe it’s the owner’s daughter but I’m not sure). It’s the best place to be in the city if you are looking for affordable option.

The AC inside my room is too small for the room size which cannot cool down the room to its intended temperature. Now one disappointed thing I need to address here. When I first arrived around 10 am, I was allowed for early check in and was assigned a top bunk, which was completely fine though I sent a message on booking.com informing hostel in advance if I can request for lower bunk and the hostel responded that it cannot be guaranteed as it’s subjected to availability. As I was unpacking my bags and putting valuable stuffs to the locker, one guy who stay in lower bunk checked out. So, I went back to the reception to ask if I can be moved to the lower bunk and I don’t mind setting up the bed my own. However, the staff told me ‘no’ as that bed was already reserved for other guest. So I told the staff that I also put the same request in advance but I was informed it would be subjected to availability so how come that bed was reserved for someone?! I mean if it’s really subjected to availability, it should be fair to all guests… first come first serve, not telling me ‘no’ but ended up reserving for someone else.

They let me leave folded carton for packing a bike for 1 month before I slept at the hostel. The young guy was very helpful and friendly. Helped me to order taxi so that I could go with bike in a carton to the airport

Hostel was new and location was at top of building with views of city. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Not a traveller's hostel. The hostel is full of russian speakers living in the hostel with belongings spread everywhere. The bathroom was always dirty and only 2 showers for the whole place. There are other bathrooms but they are kept for people renting and living there full-time. The kitchen was never cleaned, and there was a pot of rotting chicken dish left on the sink for the entire stay. People didn't clean up after themselves.. No plug for each hostel bed. Drinking water for purchase only.

Good location near dushanbe mall .host is very kind , clean facility,good n comfortable to rest and relax there. I recommend single travelers feel accomodation competitive ..

Solid spot for budget travelers. The rooms are tidy and comfortable and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Closed to ATMs, convenience stores, mall, and restaurants. Located conveniently near the city center, it’s easy to explore Dushanbe’s main attractions from here.

Wi Fi can be challenging at times, and the washrooms are somewhat limited

The location is great, easy to get from the airport, near most of the touristic attractions in the city, near supermarket, restaurants, cafes and stores. The room was very comfortable and clean, as well as the toilet and shower.

The hostel doesn´t offer breakfast but there´s a kitchen where you can prepare food. They don´t accept payment by card

Had a great stay at this hostel — super clean, well-managed, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Thanks for making it such a comfortable experience!

This place is ace for its location across the street from the OVIR office to get your permit and registration. Also much of the attractions like the museums are within walking distance - a mile or so. Plenty of restaurants around. Shared bathroom is ok- I’ve had cleaner and also have had worse. But the water pressure is fabulous. Quiet place as well, and decent AC in the bedroom. WiFi is OK: good for photo uploads but it does drop and video calls are shaky and freeze.

I’m giving this place one star bc of the awful customer service at checkout and the hustle going on where someone affiliated with the hostel apparently is very reluctant to give you a letter to get the registration done and pretty much insists you go through her, adding an extra 50 somoni for her “services.” Thankfully I had the GBAO done on my own: costs 100 somoni and 15-20 minute wait. Super easy and you DON’T need her. We had some WhatsApp back and forth yesterday on the registration as I wanted to do it on my own as well: she just needs to provide a letter!! Finally this AM I relented and left her passport and money (270 somoni) for her to take care of it. Said it would be back by noon. She arrived at 12:18 but in the meantime, I was kicked out of my ACed room to sit in the hot, hot airless lobby with no fan. I protested to a woman sitting behind the desk and said it’s not her problem and shrugged, said the room needs to be cleaned. I was told I can go to the EVEN HOTTER kitchen (with no fan). No thanks! Avoid this place. I have to return to Dushanbe after the 7 Lakes and Fann Mountains and will choose elsewhere. I’ve had recs from other travelers.

Very clean (room and common bathroom) Staff helpful, you can copy your passports for 1 som each page They can arrange GBAO permit and registration at OVIR (the desk is at 50m of the hostel) You can do your laundry there for 30 som

Hard to find the entrance, we didn't see a sign, you need to enter a building by talking to a guard or use interfon (I don't know which one), go up to the 17th and there it is. Air cooling was too hot

Locations is pretty decent, a lot of ATM’s around. There’s also laundry service, which is useful. The beds are comfortable.

The ventilation on the shared WC’s is scarce, which accumulates a terrible smell. The energy misses sometimes, which doesn’t let the AC work (just imagine being with 7 more people in the room. The rooftop should be definitely upgraded (is an opportunity that is being missed).

Good location and kind staff
